_Sig._ [A 3], _recto_, 11. 17-18. "_Horace's Art of Poetry._" Published,
Paris, 1689, in Vol. X of Dacier's _Remarques Critiques sur les Oeuvres
[d'Horace] Avec une Nouvelle Traduction_.
_Sig._ [A 5], _verso_, 1.2, note. "Chap. 18, Rem. 8." In this remark,
Dacier explicates Aristotle's injunction that the poet should sketch the
general outline of the fable before filling in episodes and naming
characters, thus making it general and universal.
_Sig._ [A 6], _verso_, 1.7, note. "Chap. 13, Rem. 25." Dacier says in
this remark that a regular tragedy submitted to the judgment of the
learned and the ignorant will always please best, "_car l'un remarque
une chose, l'autre une autre, & tous ensemble ils remarquent tout_."
_Sig._ [A 8], _recto_, 1.7. "History is much less grave." "Ch. IX, Rem.
5" (Dacier's note) Dacier adds nothing to the traditional discussion of
the superiority of poetry to history and philosophy.

oration "On the Fortune or the Virtue of Alexander," II, in _Moralia_

d'Aristotele vulgarizzata et sposta_, 1570. This view of Castelvetro,
who was remarkable for his independence of Aristotle, was fairly common
in France. La Mesnardiere, for instance, was extremely hostile to him.
